A huge loss for the Yankees.They truly need to find a way to win game 2 against Sanchez.If they don't,this one might end in 4,sadly.

I'm thinking that, too. With Verlander on the mound in Game 3 you almost have to look at tonight's game as a must win. The Yankee offense was already stagnant even with Jeter due to the lack of production from Texeira, Cano, Rodriguez and Swisher. In truth, if it wasn't for the unanticipated heroics of Ibanez they'd have gotten knocked out by the O's.

ESPN.com has a story up now that the Yankees still have available tickets for game #2 of the ALCS.

Guess they have bad fans.....

There's only 2 ways a team with that big of a following can see issues with attendance,

1. Suck so bad that the fans have had enough (Cubs)

2. Price the average fan out of your stadium (Yankees)

I realize just about all of the regular position players (with the exception of Ichiro and Martin) have really stunk for the Yankees this postseason. Their pitching has really done well, also if Baltimore wasn't trying to hit 6 run homers in every at-bat, they would be playing in this series instead.
